The Ultimate Christmas Gift Closet

The Christmas Season is fast approaching. Do you know what you are buying as your Christmas gift this year? Club Wheelock have helped you gather the information you need to make your Christmas shopping fun, easy

and enjoyable!

It is hard to imagine celebrating Christmas without thinking about giving gifts. Have you wonder “why do we give gifts on Christmas?” Is it a tradition or is it a new development?

Different cultures often have their own reasons for giving Christmas gifts. For some European countries, the practice of giving gifts at Christmas comes from remembering Saint Nicholas good heart and his charitable gift-giving. You wonder who Saint Nicholas is. Saint Nicholas is the model of real Santa Claus! He was well known for his kindness and charity, which led to many of the gift-giving traditions of Christmas. The most influential story of him was about the three bags of gold and the three sisters. A poor father has failed to prepare dowry for his three daughters. Saint Nicholas heard of the poor man’s plight and decided to help them secretly. On three occasions, Saint Nicholas has thrown a bag of gold through the windows and every time the bag of gold has landed in a hanging-stocking. Soon, the story has transformed and become the foundation of our present gift-giving and hanging-stocking on Christmas days.

Religiously, the tradition of gift giving comes from the three Magi who brought gifts to baby Jesus. The three Magi, also known as the three Wise Men, have brought their gifts of gold, frankincense (incense) and myrrh (herb) upon the Christ child born. Their gesture was to thank and honor God who gave us his son, Jesus. In remembrance of the three Magi’s generosity and selflessness, gift-giving become a symbol of appreciation and caring.

Today, we all give Christmas gifts for our own reasons. For some, it is a way to celebrate the Christian holy day. For many families, it is a way to show loved ones how much you care.
